Sr. Manager Mergers and Acquisitions Integration

Our Integration Management Office is the central hub that brings newly acquired businesses into Vertiv and turns our deal thesis into realized value. We are hiring a Senior Manager, Integration, to join the IMO and lead the integration of assigned acquisitions end to end, operating within our established integration governance, playbook, and toolset.

Reporting to the Vice President, Global M&A Integration, you will serve as the integration lead for assigned the value-creation case from pre-close planning through Day 1 and the value-capture period that follows. You will drive the integration plan across functional work streams, hold the program to the synergy and milestone commitments defined in diligence, and partner with acquired-company leadership to implement our integration playbook while protecting the talent, customers, and culture that made the business worth acquiring.

• Lead integrations end to end: Own the integration roadmap for assigned deals, from diligence handoff and Day 1 readiness through the value-capture period, anchored to the value-creation thesis approved at deal approval.
• Run the integration within the IMO model: Operate inside the IMO established governance, charters, tools, and templates; manage cross-functional work streams across Finance, HR, IT, Operations, Commercial, Legal, and Supply Chain; and keep steering committees informed with a disciplined reporting cadence.
• Deliver measurable value capture: Translate the deal model into tracked synergy and improvement commitments across safety, quality, delivery, and cost; establish the metrics, dashboards, and review rhythm that hold the integration accountable to the case.
• Deploy operational efficiency and integration playbook into acquired businesses: Partner with acquired leadership to introduce lean and Lean Six Sigma processes, Value Stream Mapping, daily management, and policy deployment, establishing visual management so teams have immediate feedback on performance.
• Lead through influence: Build trust quickly across newly acquired leadership teams, corporate functions, and IMO workstream leads, driving alignment without direct reporting authority.
• Protect what we acquired: Steward culture, key talent, and customer relationships through the transition, recognizing that retaining the acquired team strengths is as critical to the thesis as capturing synergies.
• Strengthen the IMO playbook: Capture lessons learned, refine integration tools and templates, and contribute to raising the consistency, maturity, and repeatability of integration across the Vertiv deal pipeline.

• Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, finance, or a related field; MBA preferred.
• Eight or more years of progressive experience in M&A integration, corporate development, operations, program management, or management consulting, including direct experience leading or co-leading post-merger and post-acquisition integration.
• Demonstrated success delivering complex, cross-functional programs on time and on budget while leading through influence in a matrixed, global organization.
• Strong financial and analytical fluency, able to connect an integration plan to a deal model, synergy targets, and P&L outcomes.
• Working knowledge of lean and continuous-improvement methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, or an equivalent operating system.
• Excellent communication and change-leadership skills, credible with both frontline teams and senior executives.
• Willingness to travel 40 to 60 percent, including internationally.
